Track season is getting closer!

Hey guys! As you probably know by now, track season is getting closer and closer. Yes cross country just ended and you want a break from running or doing any sort of activity but don't worry because you still have about a month and a half. Track is exciting, heart racing, and very competitive. It's not all one race and then you're done. There are many different events with each one starting at a different time. Start to atleast think of which events you might want to do and remember to choose the ones that you can actually get somewhere with and that you're very good at whether long distance or short distance.

What happens if you don't make it to regionals?

If you don't make it to regionals, then you have to work harder next season. Districts was a test to see if you have what it takes to compete with the top athletes and if you didn't make it, then you obviously didn't have what it took and must push yourself even more. It's not the end of the world so don't become all depressed. There are some benefits as well such as eating whatever, going out super late, no more stress, and you're open to doing anything since you don't have practice anymore.

What should you expect in districts?

Every school has a different day or place for districts. Because of this, there will probably be at the most 8 schools competing against you. Yes it's not a lot and you may think that this means that it will be a easy race, but you could be totally wrong. Run each race as if it was one of the biggest races that would be brodcasted on tv where everyone could see you and as if it was your last. Expect better times from yourself and to do even better in everything during your run. Think positive and have fun, but don't underestimate the people around you.
